Honestly, I'm just incredibly happy this game exists. A well-polished vision of what Jet Set Radio can be. JSR was the first video game I really loved, but while this is definitely a nostalgia trip for me, it also stands up on its own merits. There's surprising depth to be found in the tricks system, modding in your own graffiti is fun and easy, and the music absolutely bumps.
Also, I'm pretty sure the ost samples Black Panthers (or at least black activists of some stripe, I am not an expert and have no citations to offer you) in at least 2 songs so that's pretty rad.

Hey Borderlands, you're set in sort of a sci-fi rust belt where rampant industrialization and subsequent ecomonic abandonment has driven people to lead lives of total desperation and violence to survive, can I get some type of interesting or thought-provoking politics from you?
Borderlands: haha dude video game references in the video gaaame... fart shit funnyy...
Like, listen, I like cool explosions and laser guns as much as the next person, but you can't just fill your world with a series of mediocre jokes. You need to give me something substantial to latch on to.

It's janky. It's clunky. The devs doen't know what kind of game they want it to be. Neither does the game. It's highly moddable. It's got too much going on, too many greebly little systems that don't really work right and too many conflicting themes and moods vying for your attention. The NPCs are cardboard cutouts lacking the depth of Dwarf Fortress. And yet, C:DDA still manages to be compelling. I probably would not like this game in its current state if the devs were not completely open about how it is not finished yet and that they are actively working on it.
